Dave you won't go wrong with the Honda Fit. We love our. Holds 10 foot lumber with ease, and fencing pickets. The lumber stuck out just a little in the rear of the car. I now wondered why I kept our Jeep so long, for hauling things. Nothing unique of new or new about the Cube. Up there in looks department with the Pontiac Aztec.

I think the Cube is so ugly, that we should force convicted shoplifters to drive the Cube as punishment!!!

I think the Nissan Cube will serve a different market niche than the Smart.
